INTRO: The Church, where are we today? At the time of the flood, almost all mankind was corrupted with no hope of a restoration to life – and then God sent the flood and began again with one family. At the end of the OT, almost all of God's people were corrupted with no hope of restoration, and God left the Jews and began a new work which included the Gentiles. We are now to the point where the ch...

Sermon by Pastor Gavin Jackel in 1 Corinthians 15:20-27 and selected scriptures on Sunday Morning, 20th September, 2026

This sermon examines the theological distinctions between the Rapture and the Day of the Lord, arguing for a pre-tribulational timeline where believers are removed before the period of divine wrath begins. The speaker identifies 1 Thessalonians 5 and 2 Thessalonians 2 as the primary biblical texts defining the start of the Day of the Lord, linking the 'peace and safety' mentioned in the former to...

We continue our examination of the different views of the rapture.

The sermon explores the theological relationship between Israel and the Church through the olive tree metaphor in Romans 11, emphasizing that Gentiles are grafted into the Abrahamic covenant by grace rather than boasting against the natural branches.

(AI Generated Summary) This sermon examines Luke 21:27 as the climactic point of the Olivet Discourse, arguing that the return of the Son of Man is a visible, cosmic event rather than a secret or invisible occurrence.

The speaker presents a detailed case for a...

"Our world is in trouble. In fact, humanity is suffering with disease. Death. But even more. There is a problem of evil and sin that is tearing our civilization apart. The Bible says there is an answer. That answer was given and runs like a thin red line from Genesis 3 through the rest of Scripture. Follow that line and see where it leads.."- Dr. Mal Couch
